Well friends, we'll start off with sad news first. . . I only have 3 more weeks with the kids. Their parents decided to send them to a year-round school, which takes place M-F 8:30-3:00. So, my help is no longer needed.

For one year and 8 months, I have been with Tristan and Trinity. We've been through barely walking to running, cribs to big girl beds, potty training, more potty training, writing single letters to full names, countless play-dates. . . so many things. I tried to provide them with new experiences to grow and learn. And in turn, I learned a great deal from them. They are just little people who love me so much, and I love them.

Saying good-bye to my everyday life with them is going to be tough.

Oh, I love them so much.

It's not entirely sad though. Nannying full-time has it's high points, but definite lows as well. Those lows have been wearing on me, and I'm pretty sure this change needed to happen anyway. :) Heath will be graduating in August (woohoo!!!) so we're both on the job hunt. I know I want to work with kids... that's all I know for now.

In other news, my sweet cousin just welcomed her first baby! I could not be more happy for her, and wish I could be there to help/enjoy baby Landon. Heather, I think a Northwest trip is a must for you in the coming months! I don't think I can wait until Thanksgiving!
Isn't he precious?!

Heath was playing basketball on Tuesday night and hurt his ankle. I thought it was a break, but luckily it's just a high ankle sprain. I have a picture, but I thought I would spare you. You're welcome. 

We have crutches and an ankle brace, so he should be fine in the next few weeks.

Heath and I aren't fast decision makers, especially when it comes to larger, more expensive purchases. But several Saturdays ago in Ikea, we almost bought this:
We didn't, deciding that it would be best to think about it first; the incentive lasts until mid-June so we've got time! And then, I found out I would be losing my job in a month. 

Ah man! We really wanted that lilac sofa... a lot. Ikea, please hang on to this sofa for a while. We'll buy it someday.

You should listen to this. I've been fond of Andrew Bird for the past few months. #10 is my favorite. Enjoy!

Do you have any music suggestions?
